Description 1.89 cts., 8.75 x 8.75 mm A NICELY CUT, TIP TOP GEM RED OREGON SUNSTONE!!!
FANTASTIC GEM!!!

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! THIS ONE WILL MAKE A MASTERPIECE THAT VERY FEW WILL BE ABLE TO MATCH!!!


THERE IS SOME SLIGHT COPPER SCHILLER IN THE STONE THAT SHOWS AT THE TOP OF THE STONE. YOU WON'T EVEN SEE IT IN THE ACTUAL GEM!!!!
PLEASE NOTE: THIS ONE IS ALL NATURAL!! NOT THE HEAT TREATED OR COPPER INFUSED MATERIAL THAT HAS SOLD THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS AS ANDESINE!!
I AM SORRY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THIS PHOTO! THIS ONE IS A TOP GRADE GEM RED SUNSTONE!! THE COLOR DIDN'T TAKE QUITE RIGHT (IT IS A GORGEOUS BRIGHT CINAMMON RED), BUT YOU CAN SEE THE SATURATION AND IT IS A TOP GEM RED THAT DOESN'T REALLY COLORSHIFT.
MUUUUUCH NICER IN PERSON!!!
I KNOW THIS ONE IS MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT IF YOU WANT THE TOP GRADE COLOR, THIS ONE IS IT!!!
THESE TOP GEM REDS LIKE THIS ARE VALUED AT FROM $1000 TO $1500 A CARAT WHOLESALE AT THE MINE OR ANYWHERE ELSE. THIS ONE IS LESS THAN A THIRD OF THAT.
I HAD A CUSTOMER WRITE ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE IN COST BETWEEN THESE STONES AND THE OTHER REDDISH SUNSTONES I PUT ON EBAY SO I THOUGHT I WOULD ADD MORE EXPLANATION. THESE STONES ARE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR THESE REASONS.

1. I sell the less than top grade gemstones at even a more reduced cost than the top grade stones. When you sell on ebay you do what you have to to sell stones.

2. The color! The color in the more expensive one is a rich deep red and not an red copper color (that tends to be a much more orange hue.

3. The more expensive one does not colorshift. In the less than top gem red sunstones when you take the stone from light to light the color may shift between it copper red or red copper color to a tan brown coloration. These top gem reds look best in bright light (as do all stones), but even in other lights they are still red and don't turn the brownish tone.

4. Rarity, these that have this rich red are a very miniscule amount of even the red sunstones that are found at the mine. Even with all the mining they do, these reds are very uncommon. They really do sell at the mine for the above mentioned price.


From the famous DUST DEVIL MINE outside of Plush, Oregon.
THESE STONES ARE SOME I COLLECTED MYSELF. THEY WERE EITHER CUT BY ME PERSONALLY OR BY OTHER CUTTERS. IN COOPERATION WITH THE MINERS, and in order to get the word out about this great gemstone we offer these WONDERFUL GEMS at reduced prices. The prices we offer these stone at ARE NOT TYPICAL ON THE OPEN MARKET AND ARE EBAY ADVERTISING PRICES ONLY!!! Our desire is to HELP PEAK PUBLIC INTEREST AND EDUCATE THE JEWELRY INDUSTRY ABOUT THESE GREAT STONES!!
Our photos are taken with a Sony camera under halogen lighting (in most cases). We do our best to get a true representation of our stones. Sometimes because of enlarging the photo, or because of different settings on individual monitors there are variations in color.
